The Traditions of Feathers.
THE MEANING AND SUGGESTIONS AT
TACKLED TO PLUMES.

Who can imagine a gallant cavalier of
I'VE olden time" going off to the wars
without a waving plume in his cap? Why,
its absence would 81 entirely mar the
effect that the knight would scarcely seem
worth ones admiration Long before the
age of chivalry quaint ideas were extant
regarding feathers. and some of our well
known savings owe their origin to the
waving plumes.
"To plume ones SELF comes from the
Hungarans, who placed in their cap a
feather for each Turk killed, and there
fore were decorated according to valor
The use OF the white feather as sign OF
withdrawal from contest or as a truce I'M
doubtedlv arose from the fac, that in leav
ing the field the white feathers were most
easily seen. The sending of a white
feather to one who intended fighting
meant usually warning from some friend
that discretion would be the better part of
valor.
The question has often been asked why
the feathers of the peacock. beautiful as
they are, have the reputation of bringing
bad luck to the wearer. The East Indians
and the North American Indians believe
that feathers endow their owner with the
vices or virtues of the bird from which
they are plucked, and as the peacock is
vain, arrogant and greedy. he can scarce.
~ endow one with all the virtues. The
king6sher has been highly hoDored bird.

The modern woman is well ballasted.

The writer tried the scales upon her

People who appreciate the beauty OF

CHAPTER XII,

Not long after Jim had left me walked
down to the club to glance through the
evening papers, and finding my favorite
arm chair by the window vacant, | seated
myself comfortably in it and took up The
ST. James Gazette. The political article
did not look very interesting, so l skipped
it and went on to the next, which was
printed in smaller type, and was headed
"Jnfants in the Saddle"
"a much needed warning to parents"
it began, will, we may hope be conveyed
by the sad accident to Lord Brackuells
child which we report elsewhere. The
wonder is that such accidents are not of
more frequent occurrence l read no
further, but hurriedly turned over the
leaves of the paper until | came upon the
following paragraphs
"ACCident in Rotten ROw.-LOrd Sun
ming, the only child of Lord Bracknell,
and grandson of the Earl of Staines, was
riding in Rotten row this morning, at
tended by groom, when his pony sud-
denly became unmanageable and bOlted.
The animal gallOped for a considerable
distance, then swerved and fell, throwing
IFS rider with great violence against the
iron ratings. Lord Stunning, who was
rendered insensible by the fall, was at
once removed to his fathers residence in
Wilton place, where we regret to say that
he lies in a precariOus condition, having,
it is feared, sustained inCurable injuries. /"
/ ordered hanson and started at once
for Wilton place, hoping against hope that
the newspaper report might turn out to be
an eXaggeration.
But before the butler who opened the
door for me had spoken a word knew
that there was no hope. In a few mo-
ments had heard all about it. The great
doctors had been and had gone away
again, saying that nothing could be done.
Sentence of death had been pronounced,
and the boy would hardly live until morn
ing. He was conscious now, and had no
pain, the butler said. Perhaps his lord

low voice; hes bearing up wonderful "

At the foot of the staircase sat a man in
grOOm's dress, bending forward, with his
elbows on his knees, and a look of such
blank despair upon his face that l could
not refrain from making an effort to COM
fort him. ut wasn't your fault, you
know, James, said-stupidly enough.
The man lifted his heavy eyes for mo-
ment. ''His lordship spoke terrible ard to
